I'm Still Here!

It's been a crazy summer and I apologize for not getting back here before now. Business has been booming! I never expected things to take off so fast. It's hard sometimes to keep up with it all. Don't get me wrong, I'm by no means complaining.

I read an article in Entreneur Magazine, September edition by Cornelia M. Flannery. I would like to share this with you all as I know how frustrating it can be sometimes when you start your own business. You must always remember to never, never give up! Good things take time. With that being said, here is the article:

What To Do When You Want To Give Up

Any successful entrepreneur will tell you that starting a business isn't always a smooth ride. Doors close. People object. Stuff happens. Here are some 10 minute actions you can take when you feel like throwing in the towel and walking away from your dream.

*Calm Yourself Down
Breathe. Count to 10. Go for a walk. Do something that will take you out of your emotional reactions and give you perspective on your situation.

*Read Your End Goal Statement
Remind yourself of what you're creating and why. This tends to jump-start your motivation because you've written it in the present tense, as if it were happening now.

*Change Your Focus
Make a list of the positives. This could include what you have achieved, the contacts you have made or how much you have grown through the process thus far.

*Look For The Opportunity
Ask yourself, "What is the situation trying to teach me?" Challenges can be the most valuable form of feedback. Any setback, glitch or crisis can be used as an opportunity to help you move forward.

*Get Support
Hire a coach. Find a mentor. Consult an expert. Talk to an objective person (someone who believes in you) who can help evaluate the situation, answer your questions or guide you in finding the right solution.

For me the most helpful one has been "Get Support". To talk to others who are doing what you are doing, or have been doing it a lot longer than you and know the do's and don'ts. This has proved to be priceless to me.
